are there any plans for it to support the steam library?

Will Heroic support itch.io?

supporting steam as a library is non trivial, doesnt have an opensource backend, and would ultimately still require steam to be running most likely. Additionally since steam runs in linux, its pretty low priority.

if someone implements the support, sure, we don't have enough bandwidth to add more stores with the little time we all have for heroic, but it's open source

This might be a silly question but would anyone have a quick run down on where they would start with getting familiar with the code base to add this support? Or maybe just an option to bulk import games instead of having to import every single game manually

looks like if i dig into this and understand how it works might be a decent place to start:

i see two distinct phases: 1) a stand alone tool that is able to log into steam, use vac, drm, and the other various features (install/update games). 2) heroic integration of that tool
since all the back ends that support the different stores are all stand alone tools that you can already use in command line by themselves iirc
